1. Sort Operation

1.1. Purpose

Sort signals by their X-axis or Y-axis values.

1.2. Description

The Sort operation reorders the data points within signals based on either the X-axis (typically time or position) or Y-axis (signal values). This is useful for preparing data for further analysis or visualization.

1.3. Input

Any signal type.

1.4. Output

Signals with data points sorted according to the specified criteria.

1.5. Parameters

  • Sort By: Select which axis to use for sorting:

    • X Axis (default): Sort by the independent variable (e.g., time)

    • Y Axis: Sort by the signal values

  • Sort Direction: The order of sorting:

    • Ascending (default): Smallest values first

    • Descending: Largest values first

  • Retain X: (Default: true) When sorting by Y-axis, this option preserves the original X-axis values. This maintains the time or position information associated with each data point.
